Sun Shiyi just sat down.
Then I saw the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, the currently popular Marquis Dahao, shouting.
"The Ming Dynasty agrees to send envoys to each other, but it will not agree to the requirements of various countries to establish embassies in the Ming vassal countries. The vassal countries have no diplomatic rights. This is clearly stated in the "Li"! European countries are not allowed to communicate with the Ming vassal countries without authorization!"
Grand Duke Lin stood up and said loudly.
He, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, does not look like a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty at all, and he looks aggressive.
"We believe that Ming Dynasty's unauthorized closure of the Strait of Malacca and the exclusion of European merchant ships from East and Southeast Asia are gross interference in the international order and damage to trade freedom!"
The speaker was Spanish envoy Rafael Bregolat.
"Yes, the British Empire strongly protested against this!"
"We also believe that Ming Dynasty should respect previous international rules and open the Eastern route." Russian special envoy Vasily Lavrov also agreed.
"Ming Dynasty supports true free trade!"
Grand Duke Lin looked at the Ming Emperor who was sitting in a high position and seemed not to speak on such an occasion, and then said sternly.
"What is real free trade?" British envoy George Staunton asked with a frown.
Soon there was a general who translated George Staunton's words into Chinese.
In fact, Grand Duke Lin understands English, but on this occasion, the language spoken is also related to the dignity of the country. As a diplomat of the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to speak English in formal occasions.
"It means to let go of all barriers to each other and open all markets. The British Empire opened the markets of British India, South Africa, North America, Britain and Ireland to Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty can open Ming Dynasty's market accordingly!"
"This is true free trade!"
"No, no, no, we have always had the right to trade in Southeast Asia and East Asia. This power has lasted for more than a hundred years!"
"Da Ming will not agree with this so-called practice! Either open to each other, or maintain the status quo!"
Grand Duke Lin said loudly.
Tsarist Russia obviously does not want to get entangled in market issues - Tsarist Russia cannot export any goods anyway.
Therefore, Vasily Lavrov is more concerned about the fate of the Manchus. If the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Manchus, will they turn their attention to Central Asia or Siberia next?
"The Russian Empire is concerned about the fate of the Qing Empire, and we hope to know the Ming Empire's policies and territorial requirements for the Qing Empire."
Vasily Lavrov said.
As soon as this statement came out.
The messengers present fell silent.
The Ming Empire and the Qing Empire were undoubtedly mortal enemies.
So.
If the Ming Empire destroyed the Qing Empire.
Will Ming Dynasty expand?
If so, should they go to Central Asia, north to Siberia, or south to Southeast Asia...
Grand Duke Lin just wanted to say something.
When he saw Zhu Daohua stretched out his hand, he immediately sat down, and Zhu Daohua sat up straight.
First, he stared at the British envoy George Staunton and said: "I have learned that Britain has sent the so-called Eastern Intervention Fleet to India. Is Britain preparing to go to war with the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, Great Britain just needs to ensure its interests in India."
"As far as I know, India itself, the Mughal Empire, the Maratha League and other countries still have sovereignty and have not been invaded by you. Your interests in India are extremely limited to the Indian lands illegally occupied by you, but they also include the entire India."
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the British rule of India is not illegal..." George Staunton had just finished speaking.
Zhu Daohua waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care whether you are illegal or not. In short, China and India have traditional friendship. We sent monks to visit India a thousand years ago. The traditional friendship between China and India lasts for thousands of years. In the year, Ming Dynasty has the responsibility to protect Indian civilization from invasion and destruction! The exchanges and trade routes between Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire, Maratha League, Talpu'er Kingdom, Kalat Khanate, and Durrani Kingdom must not be interfered with in any way. , otherwise it will be like starting a war!"
George Standong's face turned gloomy.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, British India is the territory of the British Empire!" George Staunton said in a low voice.
"We neither admit nor deny it," Zhu Daohua said, "but the sovereignty of other Indian states should not be threatened!"
"The connections between Ming Dynasty and Indian states must not be threatened!"
"Otherwise, I will raise millions of troops to liberate the Indian people from the colonial rule of the British Empire!"
George Standong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
When had the British Empire been so threatened?
But now he is really worried that Ming Dynasty will reach out to India from land.
Now that Myanmar is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can completely enter Bangladesh through Myanmar and directly dispatch the Ming Dynasty's powerful army to India.
In fact, Great Britain does not have many countermeasures to this.
However, George Staunton always believed that Ming Dynasty had no need or motivation to do such a thing.
Because their life and death enemy has always been the Qing Empire in the north.
"Your Majesty, don't forget, there is still a huge Qing Empire in the north of Ming Dynasty!"
"So what? The Manchu and Qing Dynasties are the enemies of China. Any country that chooses to side with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will be hostile to the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Daohua said unceremoniously.
After saying that, he turned to look at Vasily Lavrov, the envoy of Tsarist Russia.
"The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a civil war in China. No country has the right to interfere or intervene. Is the Russian Empire preparing to intervene in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"
"No, no, no, His Majesty the Emperor, we Russians are peace-loving, and we will not participate in China's civil war." Vasily Lavrov waved his hands repeatedly.
It is impossible not to participate.
But they would not be enemies of the Ming Dynasty on formal occasions, so as not to draw the attention of this huge empire to the north.
The best thing is for Ming Dynasty and Britain to fight to the death in India and Australia.
"But we want to know the boundaries of Ming Dynasty's territory in the north."
"We will get what we deserve," Zhu Daohua said.
"Including Mongolia?" Vasily Lavrov asked.
"If the Russian Empire did not support the Manchus, maybe Ming Russia could carve up Mongolia."
Vasily Lavrov's eyes lit up.
But George Stendong and others were very worried.
what happened?
Ming Russia wants to carve up Mongolia? !
If Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia reach this agreement.
Doesn't it mean that after the improvement of relations between China and Russia...
Ming Dynasty will look towards the south.
Looking at India, Australia, or even Arabia and Africa? !
At that time, it will be the UK that will be under tremendous pressure.
We can't blame George Staunton for breaking his defense.
How could the emperor of the Ming Empire be willing to take out and divide Mongolia?
this...
This is a loss of power and an insult to the country!
Aren't you tough? Continue to be tough to the end!
If you co-write, you will be tough on Dae-young!
Zhu Daohua saw the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
But I was thinking...
The carving up of Mongolia also depends on where it is divided.
The Golden Horde is also part of the Mongol Empire, right?
For Zhu Daohua.
The only one that could provide large-scale assistance to the Manchus was Tsarist Russia, which was relatively close geographically.
Throw out the bait of Mongolia.
Although I don't know if it has any effect.
But if Tsarist Russia can be stabilized, this giant bear in the north will not be ready to move.
It is also a good move.
...........
A public meeting between envoys from the European countries and the Ming Emperor.
The final situation was that Britain and Spain failed to receive any benefits or guarantees from the Ming Empire.
The envoy of Tsarist Russia, Vasily Lavrov, walked out of the venue with a smile.
If Ming Dynasty showed the attitude that "Mongolia's non-inherent territory can be divided up".
That explains it.
The focus of Ming Dynasty's expansion was not in the north.
Think about it too.
What is the north?
It is a desolate, freezing Siberia.
What do those Han Chinese who farm the land want from Siberia?
If they want land, of course they want fertile soil that can be used for farming.
For example, Southeast Asia, Australia, India, etc.
The American envoy was also in a good mood.
Daming agreed to jointly explore routes from Daming to thirteen states in North America with the United States.
Before the opening of the Panama Canal, it traveled from thirteen states in North America to China.
That's really a long way to go.
Either we have to go south from the Caribbean Sea, follow the coastline of the American continent all the way south to the southernmost tip, and then go north to the Pacific Ocean, looking for a westward drifting ocean current, and try to float to Southeast Asia on the ocean current.
Either we have to cross the Atlantic and come to China from Europe.
This route does not require much exploration.
But this is too far.
Therefore, it is really difficult for both parties to conduct direct trade.
However, Zhu Daohua envisioned a global route trade: American merchant ships departing from the Americas were loaded with cotton. After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, they exchanged the cotton for industrial products of the Ming Dynasty, and then transported the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty to India and Europe to exchange for precious metals, and then to Africa buys labor force and then returns to the United States. During this trip, every step of the trip is profitable, so it doesn't matter how far the journey is.
This prospect sounds quite tempting.
After all these diplomats have left.
Zhu Daohua left Sun Shiyi alone.
"British Lord, now the British have increased their troops in India. You can't wait any longer. We will set out in the spring next year and occupy the mouth of the Ganges first."
Sun Shiyi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Long live my lord, it's not that I don't want to leave early...it's really...the money is still too tight. You see, you have to hire civilians and pay shipping fees. If you go to India, you have to buy a batch." Ammunition, military rations, these large and small expenses... I really can’t bear it, how about you invest more?"
Zhu Daohua patted Sun Shiyi on the shoulder: "You have to endure hardships to become a great man. Lord British, this India is a good place, and it will be a family legacy that can be passed down for thousands of years in the future. Work harder now, all for the benefit of your descendants." Wealth.”
"I'm not the God of Wealth. I can't invest just because I want to. Well, I can make the decision and let the Royal Bank lend you five hundred thousand Ming Yuan. How about dividing it over ten years?"
"Twenty years! Long live my life, it's all in installments anyway, let's divide it into twenty years."
Sun Shiyi started to bargain.
"Fifteen years! Fifteen years at most! And we will set off in mid-January next year!"
"I obey the decree!"
Sun Shiyi got what he wanted, and worried that Emperor Zhu would regret it, he hurriedly agreed.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. The website will be closed soon. Download the Star Reading app to provide you with Qianlong: Qing Dynasty by Mr. Mu Mu Mu Ah? Where is my Qing Dynasty?
